A Prisoner of the Past Songtext
von Prefab Sprout

I′m a ghost to you now
I'm someone you don′t really wish to see
I'm a ghost to you now
A shadow since you turned your back on me

Maybe you'll learn why it was I shook
Baby your turn to wear the haunted look

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get Ready, get ready to pay
I′m taking you at last -
A prisoner of the past

This ghost is here to stay
He survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to say
"I′ve found my niche at last -
A prisoner of the past"


Anywhere that you go
I'm going to be the welcome there for you
Everywhere that you go
Be certain that the table′s set for two!

Maybe you'll learn there′s nowhere you can go
Baby you'll turn as white, as white as snow

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get Ready, get ready to pay
I′m taking you at last -
A prisoner of the past

This ghost is here to stay
He survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to say
I've found my niche at last,
A prisoner of the past

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get Ready, get ready to pay
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past
